Very interesting interview
It amazes me how history repeats, read about bunker in the second part.
Also how he started making plugs and was he, as a thread at the other place calls it "commercial"

God, that was the most useful thing I've read in years. Thank you for posting it. Dave, you should rerun it.

Cool! Thanks for posting that!

Nice Read,, Thanks.....

Nice,enjoyed reading it.Normally I don't have the patience to reed more than a paragraph..

Nice,

I like the part where he would give his plugs to kids. :)

Nice post, I just printed it out there's a lot of knownledge in it. I'll save it and reread it often.

I didnt know you could read at all Tony! :D

Great piece of history. thanks for scanning and posting it!

God, that was the most useful thing I've read in years. Thank you for posting it. Dave, you should rerun it.

I'm going to look into that today...

any idea what year and issue # that was bfc?

Thank you. That was great.

Love the bunker vs. plugs questions. The man should be a candidate for Sainthood.

Sorry but I am a plug devotee. When it comes to a choice between bait or plugs it affects me deeply. Live Bait catches the biggest fish no doubt. When I ran the flyfishing seminar series in the nineties for the Osterville Anglers Club w/ Capt. Ron Murphy I would always get asked how to take big fish conssitently. Of course they meant with the fly rod but I would put the fly rod down and tell the person who asked "get yourself a ten foot conventional rod spooled w/ 30 pound mono and a big sled dog live eel"

I know what I am talking about, I went almost 11 years strictly fly fishing for striped bass and the biggest bass I ever took was only 32 pounds.

I guess plug fisherman and fly fisherman for that matter enjoy self inflicted abuse. Ah well, I still love bass on plugs and still think it's the most challenging way for without the challenge where is the reward?

Awesome read! :kewl:

Great read.:bl:

Thanks for sharing that, BFC. :btu:

Just spent some "Quality Time" in the "Library" at work reading it. Great read

what a nice guy .. I have a new appreciation for Danny Pichney after reading that .. I was a fan before .. I like his thoughts on plug building and fishing ,, Its much like alot of guys on this board .. I like the fact he just talked like a regular guy ,, not all full of himself .. Thanks for that Bluefishercat ,,, made my day .

I'm gonna have to study that article, tons of great info in there. Nice piece, thanks for sharing that.

I feel so much better now- He says in the interview "Surf fisherman don't seem to fare too well with big fish" I think he was talking about me.

I like the good words about Pat Abate. Great post.

I enjoyed that! I love the part where he admits to singing while driving to pass the time. :)

Two good hearted fisherman just talking. Cool

a nice read from a class act. glad i caught it this rime around.
probably the same reason i plug, instead of chunking, eels, etc.

Wow! I would like to know half as much as Danny Pichney knew. Great reading.
